The problem with that region (San Felipe to Bahia de Los Angeles) it’s a long and remote coastline that is too easy for smugglers to cross in both directions with drugs, guns, money and people. And there are tens of thousands of square kilometers where they can safely hide on land. San Felipe needs a battalion at minimum with a much larger naval presence. Bahia needs a garrison with a naval base large enough to provide support in coordination with San Felipe to be able to cover so much water area. Anything less is just a game of whack a mole and why the cartels are in control of everything that moves in the northern gulf. Mexico City knows this which makes me think sometimes that this was a deal with the Sinaloa cartel made by the federal government.
